Shine Wong Wai HongFebruary 23, 2014Flat white is their best seller and piccolo is the second best seller.Flat white is a best choice for coffee lover as the milk and coffee portion was just right.
Waffles; Crisp and the hint of coconut in the batter is sublime. Eaten with a bit of all its toppings in a single bite; a mouthful of balanced perfection.
Joanne KhooJanuary 23, 2014Best coffee! Cake and ice cream is delicious! Especially the pb choc!Perfect place to hang out. It's different from those coffee shop out there. Thumbs up!
Highly recommend :) try the waffle with coconut ice-cream it's superb! BBC waffle only available until 430pm. The peanut butter + fudge ice-cream is good too! Will definitely come back again
Max PJuly 20, 2014Great honest roast and a nice selection of food. Milk temperature and frothing was done to perfection as well. Keep up the good work!
Sheng YeongDecember 28, 2014Two things. (1) One of the best flat white I have tasted. (2) Sincere in customer service excellence. Cause when they realize they mixed up my order, immediately volunteered a refund.
Benjamin SooSeptember 11, 2014Somethin' about their flat white which makes it strangely yet deliciously different! I'll go for that! AND, you CANNOT NOT try their Waffle!!
Xin LinMarch 25, 2016BBC waffles are spectacular! Combination was surprising but good-cornflakes complemented ice cream and waffles well, bacon was crispy and caramelised 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Love that ST added Smooshie juices. Carrot cake moist and yummy. Good to pair w coffee as the taste won't overpower the coffee. BBC waffle so good. Yum.
Immi YapApril 6, 2014I've tried all their cakes and they're all good. My favourite is the orange poppy seed cake. Moist with a bite, it's bliss in your mouth. Must try!
taufulou BokMarch 27, 2014Coffee and cake here not bad.. Nice place to chill too. Picolo latte and peanut cake is their signature. Worth to try it out
Standing TheoryJuly 14, 2014Hello theorists! A tip here for our coffee. Some have mentioned it's rather 'bitter' or 'sour'. If you're finding it a little overwhelming - please let our baristas know & we'll fix it up for you ;)
Ee Von NgSeptember 2, 2014Poppyseed cake was stiff but still somehow moist with the right amount of icing and sugar. Definitely worth it.
MunYee CApril 26, 2015U gotta order the bacon waffle with their home made corn flakes ice cream! Super love the ice cream!
Adeline ChuaAugust 18, 2014Waffles are good! Lunch and dinner offers different kind of waffles! Make sure ya know which one to go for!
k5January 7, 2014Dropped by for our morning caffeine fix. Love the furnishing and interior, and enjoyed our well brewed coffee. Definitely a second visit very soon.
Sioo-Ling ChanOctober 31, 2015I super like their principal, I been rejected for choose table last month, and today I been rejected for joining table again...
Hitomi NgFebruary 22, 2014Waffle with coconut ice cream: almost biscuit-like crumbliness, non-existence fluffiness, coconut aroma that fills your lung.
Love the waffles with coconut ice cream & gula Melaka! I also like how they serve hot coffee with a piece of chocolate chip cookie 😁
Sabrina TangMay 22, 2014Apple, walnut and tomato linguine in the dinner menu may sound like a weird combination but it tastes very good.. Everything just compliment well with each other :)- Standing TheoryFebruary 12, 2014Hello Glen - and hi to you too Felicia! We're sorry that you had a less than stellar experience. Rest assured - we are always open to feedback on how we can improve. Hope to see you again!
Cindrew GanOctober 26, 2014Waffle damn nice. Hot chocolate also a good try. I love their banana chocolate cake too!
Maverick YongJune 28, 2016WiFi: 5/5, PlugPoints: Got a few, Water: Unlimited, Toilet: Yup! Bonus: Parking is free, and the pan mee down the row is the bestest ever!
MinhuiMay 18, 2014B.B.C waffle, taste like heaven! Not to mention the peanut chocolate cake, so rich and moist.
WeRn JuinApril 27, 2014There's this distinctive acidity in their coffee. It goes really well with milk. Try flat white or cappuccino ;)
- Max PJuly 5, 2015Good waffles. Waffle batter is definitely much better than Owls at Bukit Jalil. Batter is heavier and tastier.
Say hello to the resident dog. Always sleeping, but ever friendly.
Alexander LobovJuly 17, 2014Very impressed with the service. Such friendly people. The coffee was also excellent. Seems the PJ cafes are better than their Bangsar counterparts.
Absolutely crushed that the cafe that once served my fave flat white no longer has a decent cup of coffee after swapping beans. I thank the barista for being honest about it tho
Orange poppy seed and their BBC waffles are amazing! Flat white is fantastic as well! Love their beans!
Low LLMarch 23, 2016Bacon bite waffle ice cream coconut on top was GREAT but the waffle not fluffier
Eric SooJune 19, 2014Cold brew is definitely a special way to enjoy coffee. A blend of 3 diff kind of coffee beans, I love it
Jamie LooDecember 1, 2013Very good & quality coffee with great music selections, a hidden coffee place at SS2 neighbourhood..
Celine LeeAugust 20, 2014Prefer the cafe latte than the piccolo. Piccolo too woody, I feel. Love the cookies served with the coffee ☺️
Gary KoFebruary 6, 2015Good place to have coffee and some porky dish...will try out their food. Love the peanut butter cake!
Tai Jing ShengFebruary 20, 2014The Orange Poopy Seed Cake was really Delicious!Felt like Locked out of Heaven!Definetely a Place to layback and relax on your day off
Afiza HalinFebruary 22, 2015Just so happen to stumble upon this shop whilst hunting for cafe in ss2. Loved the PB cake! Worth a try
First love: red velvet. Their flat white not bad. Tried affocolodo, cannot make it.
Bryan KokHoongDecember 21, 2014B.B.C waffle is a must. Nothing could go wrong with it. Cold brew is good with the strong flavour.
Chloe TanJuly 12, 2014Tried the piccolo latte and their signature BBW,I have to say I had better one. There are rooms for improvement in terms of service level and the ambience.
Edward GohFebruary 27, 2014Lovely environment, great coffee (flat white) & filled with people of all ages. Don't worry too much about parking too!
Jeannie HohOctober 31, 2015I don't understand what is so nice about the bacon waffle. I ordered one for myself and it is so difficult to cut and eat. The drinks are average. Decided on "unlike" in Foursquare after my 3rd visit.
Cheok Eng HuatFebruary 7, 2015why no one mention about Con Carne?it is as fantastic as BBC waffle. The braised pork is so so so satifying. Trust me!
Lee Jian JunFebruary 15, 2015B.B.C Waffle was indeed fantastic but Flat White is best drink when served as it can go quite acidic when left for too long.
J WFebruary 25, 2014Orange poppy seed cake - moisture and delicious + smooth flatwhite - perfect combination!!
